We can't seem to move on after knowing that Han So Hee is confirmed to lead the South Korean remake of the film, The Intern!
ICYDK, The Intern is one of those timeless feel-good films that totally earned a spot on our forever faves list. The original starred Anne Hathaway as Jules and Robert De Niro as Ben—and in this fresh new take, So Hee and Choi Min Sik are stepping into their roles. Consider us very excited!
The Intern serves up an unlikely but totally heartwarming story: 70-year-old Ben joins a booming fashion startup as an intern and ends up forming a life-changing bond with its founder.
In the Korean remake, So Hee steps into the role of Jules—the wildly successful (and totally workaholic) CEO navigating the chaos of her growing company. Enter Ben (Choi Min Sik), who doesn't just assist her at work—he becomes an unexpected mentor, offering a steady guiding presence beyond the office walls.
The good news has been confirmed by the Korean Film Council and So Hee's agency, 9ato Entertainment. At the moment, the Korean remake is already in pre-production! The cast is reported to start filming next month.
